Lovely!
I learned what Om Mani Padme Hum meant a fee years back: "the jewel within the lotus"
I decided it was a beautiful thing to remember always. Both Leh Palace and Shanti Stupa look beautiful in their own way. Hope to visit India one day Thanks for sharing!
Yes that's the literal meaning. However I am told that it usually takes a lifetime to understand the true meaning. When you understand the meaning it’s Nirvana!
Wow!
Well, I've enjoyed what I've come to understand about it so far: to look within to find peace, wisdom, happiness. Everything we seek in life is within us already. I don't know if I'll be able to understand it's full meaning as you say, but reminding myself not to seek external validation has already made my life a little bit better.
Thank you!🙏
